Wild Willy's Airboat Tours, Saint Cloud

Captain Austin was absolutely phenomenal. He was very knowledgeable, fun, and such a pleasure to have as our captain. We had some amazing views including 5 bald eagles, 2 alligators, several roseate spoonbills, a few snail kites, 3 different species of egrets, blue herons, a couple Sandhill cranes, a large softshell turtle, and a few other turtles. The staff was very friendly. After our boat tour we got to hold an alligator, as well. Overall a truly amazing and once in a lifetime experience, as we got to see some very rare sitings. It's worth the money. The earmuffs they provide were wonderful. The boats were very clean and seemed to be well cared for. They have a little shop with a few drinks and souvenir type items.

Great experience for all ages. We took a 1 hr tour with kids ages 13, 11, 5. All of them had a lot of fun. Spotted gators including some big ones. Our navigator Gabe was great and very knowledgeable. At the end they let the kids pet some small domesticated gators. Great experience!!

Great Gator tour. Our Captain Brian found us a little patch of babies and not far away was what appeared to be the mama. He also found us a medium and a couple of larger gators. He also pointed out some interesting and rare birds. He gave us statistics about the lake and the government control of the gator population. He had a few good jokes also. We enjoyed the whole experience. The ladies in the store were also very nice.

I’ve come here twice now and loved it both times! Always on time, great experience, and love that there is a restroom, outdoor seating area while you wait, and that you can head in to the little store and get refreshments. I also think it is fairly priced for the adventure you get. Both trips I saw a ton of gators and other animals. The drive in is very pretty too!

We had a wonderful first time air boat experience at Wild Willys. They were accommodating when I called to schedule a tour that day for our family of 8. My entire family had a blast speeding through the swamp areas. Captain Austin was friendly and knowledgeable about the gators and other wild life in the area. We saw multiple gators, including baby gators that were a few weeks old. We also got to see three bald eagles along with other birds. The BEST part was holding their baby alligator at the end of the tour. I highly recommend Wild Willys, you will not be disappointed.
